  Gaza incident can help reconsider Armenian-Israeli relations June 4, 2010 - 15:15 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey is a country of double standards, stated Hayk Babukhanyan, the leader of the Constitutional Right Union. “A country which has been imposing a blockade on another country during 17 years has no right to speak of closed borders,” he told reporters on June 4. He slammed the reaction of superpowers to the incident with the Gaza-bound flotilla, saying that “no country urged Turkey to open the border with Armenia, which has been suffering from blockade for 17 years.” However, he did not rule out that after the Gaza incident can stir up another Armenian Genocide debate in Knesset and even help reconsider Armenian-Israeli relations. “Israel can use the Genocide issue as a leverage on Turkey,” he said.
